U-20 World Cup Viewing Guide

Atlanta United will be represented by at least two (pending release of USYNT roster) players at this year's U-20 World Cup. Barco will be representing the Argentinian team and Wesley Decas from the 2's will represent Honduras. We are incredibly proud of these young men for earning the opportunity to represent their countries and our club at the international level. That being said, we will miss them during the overlapping club fixtures.

To follow Barco and Decas at the cup, check out these matches:

  • Honduras U-20 v New Zealand U-20 - (U-20 World Cup) - May 24 - 12:00 pm ET
  • Argentina U-20 v South Africa U-20 - (U-20 World Cup) - May 25 - 2:30 pm ET
  • Honduras U-20 v Uruguay U-20 - (U-20 World Cup) - May 27 - 12:00 pm ET
  • Argentina U-20 v Portugal U-20 - (U-20 World Cup) - May 28 - 12:00 pm ET
  • Honduras U-20 v Norway U-20 - (U-20 World Cup) - May 30 - 12:00 pm ET
  • Argentina U-20 v South Korea U-20 - (U-20 World Cup) - May 31 - 2:30 pm ET
And potentially these (times TBD):
  • U-20 World Cup Round of 16 - June 2-4
  • U-20 World Cup Quarter-finals - June 7-8
  • U-20 World Cup Semi-finals - June 11
  • U-20 World Cup Third Place Match - June 14
  • U-20 World Cup Final - June 15
By looking at this, it is easy to see how much we will miss Barco's many talents. At the very least, he will be out through the end of May, but either way, he will miss all matches before our away match at Toronto on June 26.

When you consider this alongside our other senior international squad call-ups, namely Josef and Pity, things could get interesting over the next couple of months as attacking depth will thoroughly be tested.
